The training leveraged RCCI’s 107 years of experience in carbonated soft drinks, providing guidance on product quality and consistency, with a particular focus on emerging markets such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
A regular schedule of training seminars is offered to RCCI’s global network of exclusive bottlers as part of its technical service support programme.
The workshop combined a series of beverage technical lectures by Prem Virmani, senior vice president of Science & Research at Cott Beverages, including sensory trainings, and organoleptic assessment, to help bottlers produce the highest quality drinks for consumers.
Bottlers in Guatemala had previously been required to outsource this training component, but are now able to work directly with RCCI to audit their processes and prepare for certification in global beverage industry best practices and standards.
The accompanying lecture series focused on real issues that bottlers face, such as sanitation, warehousing, and logistics, with the goal of improving their business operations at every level.
Roxana Munoz, manager of research and development at Fabrica De Bebidad Gaseosas Salvavidas, RCCI’s exclusive bottler in the Guatemala City region, said: “This is the best support that we have ever received from any company.
“It was a valuable and comprehensive training that was built around our specific needs.”
